Blueberry compote is a simple yet delicious fruit sauce that can be used in a variety of ways, from topping French toast or pancakes to adding flavor to overnight oats or Greek yogurt.
Add your fresh blueberries, sugar, and water into a sauce pot over medium-low heat.
Cook for 5 minutes making sure to stir your blueberries every 30 seconds or so.
As your compote cools it will thicken naturally. If you plan on eating it warm and you'd like a thicker consistency, mix a little bit of cornstarch in a small bowl with a splash of water.
Slowly add your cornstach slurry into your compote mixing continuously.
Add on top of all your favorite things and enjoy!
